The Chickens

There's not much to say about the chickens other than they're doing their job. We've still got all sixteen: five Rhode Island reds, five Plymouth barred Rock, and six black beauties of undetermined breed. 

Now one of the black beauties I've named Sidewinder. She was born with a deformity where one side of her is bigger than the other. Other than that, she's completely healthy and produces eggs like all the others. But, she moves in arcs, not straight lines. 

Somehow, the other black beauties have decided they all need to walk like this, so sometimes it's difficult to determine who is the true Sidewinder. The other hens can walk normally, and do, but sometimes they're all just winging it!
